However, it sounds like you've been like this for a long time. It might just be how you are. BE THANKFUL THAT YOU HAVE CENTRAL AIR!! We don't and I'm generally comfortable until it gets above the high 80s--then I start whining. Thankfully my classroom is air conditioned, but I can't sleep there. My younger daughter dislikes the sun and loves rain, hail, snow, cold, etc... I prefer low to mid 80s.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-63843088391068738352008-07-15T13:29:00.000-04:002008-07-15T13:29:00.000-04:00i know exactly how you feel. i HATE the summer. it...i know exactly how you feel. i HATE the summer. it's always so damn hot and humid and it's sticky and ugh.

My town is in a valley right next to the foothills of the Sierras. All the bad air just camps out here! Ugh! According to spare the air.com the air is Very Unhealthy.
